05 CCSB slow build

You need to make the new car run instead of making it rain.

it does, motor is really really strong.

Example.

truck hit 167k this weekend....did a 900mi trip down to a mexi beach by the AZ/MX border. Besides blowing the compressor fuse (Was my fault) it performed perfectly. 4/6 is the lowest u can go in mex before u start getting stuck on speed bumps down there :uhoh: had some close calls but managed :success:
 
oh yeah....they had these horrible torture contraptions at the border....had to make sure I made it up and over the speed bump in one fluid motion

ended up slamming the frame on the bump when I did make it over it. Then the spikes scraped all under the truck, could hear them..lol. Mexis love TALL curbs too....so I hit a few curbs backing up into parking spots :fp: I usually need like 20psi to get the hitch over a freedom curb, but in mexi, I had to raise it all the way at 60psi and barely made it over :rofl: Scares the shit out of me every time I hit a curb like that.
 
So I've been having over charging issues for a few weeks now, DC says the alt is a dummy and just does as its told since it doesn't have a voltage regulator like the 4 pin alts do. XS says their batts are probably good and to check the charging voltage. So I swapped alts and still have the same issue, its not the alts. I bought a new D3400....still have the same problem....volts will climb to 15.2v and stay there, no matter what :pissed: Problem did go away when I swapped batts but its back again after a few days, which seems to be what happens after the computer relearns and whatnot. After some googling....turns out that the 2 pin alts have a lil blek box on the negative battery cable which controls the alternator output. People have reported the same issue as I had....start at 14.6v and then climbing to 15.2v and staying there :nono:

For anyone having this same issue and having a 2 pin alternator, swap the SARVC module. Ive got one coming my way, will post results.

finally fixed....was a bunk amp ground and then it was a loose batt ground. Both grounds been addressed and im back to normal voltage. I now have a spare D3400, spare SARVC module and few feet of 1/0 wire :roflpow: oh well. I also wired in some fans for the amps and Im in the process of adding an SMD TM-1 to my dash. Its already hooked up controlling the fans but its not in its perma spot...more on that later :secret:

Cats arent in yet, my mexi shop guy wasnt there, went to my backup shop and idiot there SWORE that the cats arent stainless and that he cant weld non stainless to stainless. I then showed him the stainless Y for the QTP cutout and he argued that that wasnt stainless, but was chrome :fp: Just left and will try again with my #1 shop or take it elsewhere. This stench is getting old.

one more thing....the tiny Derale oil cooler i installed.....w/o air flowing, it cools the oil by 10* :notbad: which is not much while idling in my garage, but should do better once moving...and considering its just one loop about a foot long, it does pretty good. Im gonna measure n see if I can install a longer one. I took temps with this lil guy

BAMF LIL FOKEN LASER GUN

works awesome and display "holds" ur last temp reading.

heres a daylight vid. I have my SMD VM-1 (Voltmeter) and my SMD TM-1 (Amp temp sensor and fan controller) up there. I used to have my air gauge and bag switches up there, moved the bag switches to the side cubby panel I made and bought a TTS angled cubby mount for the gauge.
